Application filed April 5, 1911.

' which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved hat pin fastener and point protector.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient device of this character for protecting the point of the pin and securing the pin to a hat to prevent the unauthorized removal of the pin.

With this and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, and the combination and arrangement of parts as will be more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of one form of this improved point protector and fastener; Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof applied to a hat, the hat being shown in horizontal section; Fig. 3 is a plan view of a slightly modified form of the device.

In the embodiment illustrated, in Figs. 1 and 2 a mantle or point protector 1 is shown in the form of a sleeve of any suitable resilient material, preferably resilient metal.

A hollow head 3 is secured to one end of the sleeve 1, and communicates therewith, being designed to receive a point of a hat pin A, and to the other end of said sleeve 1 a flexible element A is connected, and which is preferably formed of a silk cord. This cord 4 may be of any desired length and after the mantle has been placed on the hat pin point the cord is passed around one side of the hat through which the pin is passed Specification of Letters Patent.

and is secured to the other end of the pin A under tension, thereby exerting a lateral strain on the pin and preventing it from be ing accidentally or surreptitiously disengaged from the hat. This cord may be secured to the sleeve or mantle in any desired manner thereto as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

In Fig. 3 the mantle is shown provided with a laterally extending flange 6, which is apertured for the passage of the cord 4:. In this form a cover 7 for the head of a hat pin A is shown connected with one end of the cord, and is preferably made of silk net or some other open work material to permit the pin head to be seen therethrough. This is especially useful when jeweled or other valuable pins are used. The cover 7 is slipped over the pin head either before or after it is inserted in the hat and the cord passed around one side of the hat and drawn taut and then secured tightly to the mantle, or the mantle may be first applied and then the head cover.

I claim as my invention:

A hat pin protector and fastener comprising a sleeve open at one end and having a head at its other end, a flexible element having a skeleton head-encircling member at one end and its other end connected with said sleeve to hold said flexible element under tension for exerting lateral strain on the pin to which the device is adapted to be applied.

Signed at the city of New York in the county of New York and State of New York this 3 day of April A. D. 1911.
